I think it is a combination of both really. If you drive around europe, especially southern europe, it is a white knuckle driving situation a lot of the time. Narrow roads, windy with no embankment, unprotected cliffsides with a pile of hat

Now look at the front end of a toyota sienna vs a lincoln navigator. One slopes down so that you might actually see what is in front of you and allows for pedestrians to impact and roll up and off. The other is effectively a brick notorious
